June 1904. AimÔee Garnier Whitby, a beautiful French artist and wife of one of Maine's richest and most powerful men, is found near death on the Whitby family's private summer island, the letter 'A' mysteriously carved into her chest. June 2012. Veronica AimÔee Whitby, the eighteen-year-old descendant and virtual double of the first AimÔee, becomes the victim of a near perfect copycat murder. With another beautiful, promising young Whitby woman slain, the media begin to swarm and pressure builds for Mike McCabe and Maggie Savage to bring the killer quickly to justice. But the key to solving AimÔee's death just might have been buried with her beautiful ancestor.
